    BlenderGIS can get you pretty good images.. you do need an API key to get set up but it's all free and you can even generate 3d geometry based on the elevations in the satellite images.. it tiles in blender so you the more you zoom the better the image quality to a point.

    Hey Mike, I'm sure you figured this out already, but when you first create the attribute type a number with the inch mark like 0" or 0' in the value box and hit enter. This will set the unit for that attribute to inches. This only works for the first time a value is entered. After that first initial value, you will need to use the attribute info dialog to make changes. In addition, you can use 0 to set it to text (not "Default: Text") and 0cm to set it to centimeters. If anyone knows a shortcut for setting the unit to Decimal Number, I would love to hear it!

    @ntxdave said: Building them as part of the base product would probably on raise the price.[/list] So, what else would you expect to get with the next updates? More Layout features or bigger icons? And the price has already been raised significantly since Trimble's takeover. Speaking of features i really would like to understand why the development of dynamic components has been abandoned right after the release in SU7 (?) years ago. The interface and functionality is just laughable compared to other solutions and i think there would be many possibilities if this would be improved in the right way.

    Another way would be the deactivation in the style settings.

    If can have groups instead of some components it will also be faster. So, for big models "good" modeling practices (I know Dave will kill me now... ) it's better to start off by groups and not components. (Before you kill me Dave) Rich O'Brien made a tree model with all leaves as components and it worked slower... Now I can't find it and I can't be sure if the leaves were pure geometry or groups...

    [image: 4DJX_rendera.jpg] Here's an image where you can see that the 4-layer extrusions are easy to do in the flatter areas (e.g. on top of the shell) but they don't work well where there is a lot of curvature. The problem is mainly that you need to extrude along a path with quite variable orientation of the normals.

    No. There's no plugin to do that. I'm not even sure that it can be done with a plugin. You could create that look by combining a couple of image exports, though. Profiles are displayed around each component or group so if you wanted to show them around the outside only using a single export, you could explode all the components and groups in the model. I'd prefer the two image exports myself.

    thx guy's So triangulation was the magic word Both plugins worked. I personally think that toposhaper worked better. It had more options and I'm a big fan of Libfredo plugins.

    @dcbluemoon said: This tool appears the have great potential. An chance there is a tutorial, as I am have trouble introducing Lat.,Long. values into the model? I think I'm missing something simple. After a quick look, I think you would need to create a text file containing the Lat,Long,Elev data, one point per line, and use the Plugins>Coords Tags>Import Coords Tags from CSV.
